Alpha Capture¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Mark Winn| T: Roger Fell| OR: 75| D

3/1

First run since leaving Willie Mullins when encouraging third of 11 in handicap (28/1) at Newcastle (1m) on reappearance 17 days ago, first home in group. Considered.

Form: 2/2754-3

(9)

Zowal¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 75| D

6/1

Struggled last year after a maiden win in the spring but more encouraging signs when sixth of 22 in the Spring Mile at Doncaster (good to soft, 66/1) on reappearance 10 days ago. Needs to show he can string good efforts together now.

Form: 177P0-6

Kokanee¹⁵⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Rossa Ryan| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 74

5/2

Winner at Beverley (good to soft) on last year's reappearance and returns off an identical mark. Has to enter calculations.

Form: 656345-

Typical Woman^t²³⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: Cam Hardie| T: Ian Williams| OR: 74| D

11/2

Ended 2025 with a small-field win at Lingfield (9f, good to firm) in August. Still on a competitive mark but no great record when fresh.

Form: 557461-

(5)

Urban Road^v¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: Harry Davies| T: A D Brown| OR: 74| D

14/1

Three all-weather wins last year. Creditable fifth of 12 in handicap (25/1) at Newcastle (1m) 11 days ago, met some trouble. This is his first turf outing since 2023.

Form: 3-37445

(2)

Not Me¹³³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Barry McHugh| T: I Furtado| OR: 74

18/1

Reached the frame in 2 all-weather handicaps for James Ferguson early last year but down the field on both starts for Ivan Furtado. Returns from a further 133 days off with something to prove.

Form: 2/43599-

(8)

Uppercase²⁵⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Travis Ford⁽⁷⁾| T: Harry Eustace| OR: 72

9/2

Lightly-raced maiden. Promise when second on C&D handicap debut last July. Below par at Lingfield later that month and not seen since. Retains unexposed potential on return and it'll be interesting to see what the betting makes of him.

Form: 33/427-

(6)

Character Testing^t⁵³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Joanna Mason| T: M Walford| OR: 70| D

20/1

Arrives fit from hurdles (placed in ordinary handicaps both completed starts since joining Mark Walford) ahead of this first Flat outing in nearly 2 years. Cheekpieces on first time.

Form: 221948/

(7)

Poet's Dawn^p¹⁵⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 8-13| J: Warren Fentiman⁽³⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 65| D

14/1

This veteran added 2 more wins last year but has never won first time out in his long career.

Form: 144038-

Forecasts

Kokanee (3/1), Alpha Capture (7/2), Typical Woman (5/1), Zowal (6/1), Uppercase (7/1), Poet's Dawn (10/1), Character Testing (12/1), Urban Road (14/1), Not Me (20/1)

ALPHA CAPTURE gets the nod to build on a promising first run for the Roger Fell stable on all-weather last month. Kokanee won off this mark on his 2025 reappearance so must enter the reckoning, while the lightly-raced Uppercase should also have a say if recapturing the form he showed when second on his C&D handicap debut last summer.
